In this Monday, March 17, 2014 photo released by U.S. Navy, a sailor assigned to Patrol Squadron (VP) 46 prepares to launch a P-3C Orion before its mission to assist in search and rescue operations for Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. New radar data from Thailand gave Malaysian investigators more potential clues Wednesday, March 19 for how to retrace the course of the missing Malaysian airliner, while a massive multinational search unfolded in an area the size of Australia. Cmdr. William Marks, a spokesman for the U.S. Navy's 7th Fleet, said finding the plane was like trying to locate a few people somewhere between New York and California.
